South Florida construction and restoration

— Vertically integrated. South Florida. —
Academia Development Corp. — South Florida recertification and restoration integrator on a coastal high-rise project

South Florida’s recertification and restoration integrator.

Buildings don’t fail because of one bad contractor. They fail because nobody coordinates the entire process — engineers, roofing, waterproofing, MEP, permitting, and capital planning. We control all of it.

The three outcomes that matter
Insurable. Financeable. Marketable.

A building that can’t pass inspection, secure insurance, or satisfy lenders is economically unstable — regardless of how it looks. Every scope we execute is engineered to protect those three outcomes.

What we do

Six capabilities. One operator.

01

Building Recertification

25 and 30-year programs executed end-to-end. Translated, sequenced, executed, closed out under one accountable operator.

See recertification capability →
02

Milestone Inspections & SIRS

SB-4D compliance, structural integrity reserve studies, and the executable capital plans that follow.

Milestone Inspection and SIRS →
03

Concrete Restoration & Waterproofing

Balcony, garage, plaza deck, envelope, façade. Engineer-coordinated, manufacturer-certified.

Concrete restoration and waterproofing →
04

Roofing & Waterproofing Systems

TPO, modified bitumen, silicone restoration, tile, metal. Miami-Dade HVHZ compliant.

HVHZ-compliant commercial roofing →
05

MEP Modernization

Electrical service upgrades, switchgear, HVAC central plants, plumbing risers, solar integration.

Condo MEP modernization →
06

Owner’s Representation

We sit on your side of the table. Board briefings, capital project oversight, technical translation.

The thesis

Most South Florida buildings are underprepared.

Structural aging, deferred maintenance, recertification deadlines, insurance pullbacks, MEP obsolescence, and reserve realities are converging at the same time. The aftermath of Surfside and SB-4D didn’t create these problems — it exposed them.

What buildings need now is not another contractor. It’s a coordinator who can translate engineer reports, inspection findings, and reserve studies into executable scopes, phased budgets, realistic schedules, and long-term capital plans.

The method

One operator. End to end.

— Translate

Engineer reports become scope.

30-year findings, milestone inspections, and SIRS reports converted to quantified, biddable scope documents with realistic unit costs and validated budgets.

— Execute

In-house licenses eliminate fragmentation.

General Contracting, Roofing, Plumbing, HVAC, Electrical, and Solar — all held in-house. One team, one schedule, one accountability line.

— Protect

Insurability is the constraint.

Insurance, lender, and recertification implications are designed into every scope from day one. Documentation that satisfies carriers, inspectors, and questionnaires.
